Workout Wednesday: Group Fitness Classes.

When I first started out as a personal trainer and instructor, I wasn’t sure if I would ever, not only decide to do fitness classes, but want to teach fitness classes. Personally, classes have never been my “thing”. Then again, I was always a solo gym goer right from the start. Sure, my husband and […]

Hey all you body rockers…

This one has been on the burner for a few months now, but life has gotten in the way and I haven’t had a moment to breathe. Until now. This is for all of the body rockers. Yeah, you in the gym, swingin’ and a swayin’, rocking’ back and forth as you workout. No, I’m […]

Wednesday leg days.

I don’t think my legs are at their full potential. Yeah, they’re looking a hell of a lot better than they were 12 years ago, but they still need work. Apparently, I’m the only one that thinks that. If I had a penny for every time I got compliments in my legs or was asked […]
